Did the Terms of Use get a Litttle Harsher?

So I read the TOU before hitting the "I accept" button, imagine that. :P Is it just me or is it reworded, and a lot clearer/harsher about User Content? It gets the same message as before across, but it seems to kind of pound it into the dirt (which I guess is smart of them to do)..


Maybe it's just that I haven't read the terms of use in awhile. I dunno. Either way, it certainly doesn't encourage houserules. :/


Anyone else notice this, or am I remembering wrong?

So what now they can continue to persecute posters that post negative comments about WotC and their products, only they actually will be following the ToU?

Lokiare - I was commenting on the: "all ur posts are belong to us" clause.


Ragitsu - You need fiber, lots of fiber.

The same writing and everything? I know it's been "all ur posts are belong to us" ever since Gleemax, but I could have sworn the writing was a little less... well... strict.

Nope... Same wording. Again, as I have said before, the TOU is to protect themselves against gazilions law suits. Without the TOU this community couldn't exist.

@slidder : could you somehow reduce, condense your signature until they give us back signature controls.

Not new at all. Don't be silly, they won't sew you if you criticise them. Reread the TOU carefully.Wink

Look at the top left of the forum for the bleu word «preferences». Just under your avatar picture.

I tried reading the TOU and couldn't make heads or tails of it- is my display pic going to have wizards goons breaking down my door? I swiped it off of 8BT, and it is a modified sprite from squaresoft... god knows who the copyright belongs to.


Sorry to derail a little.

I suppose it could be Spike Speigel, Cowboy Bebop. It wasn't my first guess, because I couldn't see his face very well.

It isn't him either.


 


Though, both characters are daredevils.
